ruining color rendition in highlights. To avoid this, underexpose or use manual focus
so the dots are just barely out of focus.
Color balance is as you notice a problem. By choosing a setting you may be
able to find one that looks OK. Otherwise, if you camera can save as "raw" files,
you can correct perfectly in software. That's what I do.

If I understand you correctly, you are saying by defocusing, the camera metering system will read the image differently since it can’t “see” the pixels and hence, won’t “blow up” the highlights? Interesting. I imagine the image will have a softer look. Must try it.
Still not fully comfortable with my camera, but I’m able to shoot “RAW” and need software to use it.
